The most significant business of the January transfer window appears to have already been done by Hearts.

Liam Boyce’s arrival on a three-and-a-half year deal was confirmed last Saturday. 24 hours later - he as setting up the equaliser and scoring the winner as the Jambos came from behind to beat Rangers.

Having got themselves a goalscorer, many are now tipping the Edinburgh club to haul themselves off the bottom of the Scottish Premiership table and away from trouble.

Boyce became the third addition made by Daniel Stende l so far this window, after the capture of Donis Avdijaj and Toby Sibbick.

The German isn’t quite finished yet, however, and is targeting another striker at least before Friday’s deadline, while out of contract targets are also being considered for next season.

Plenty have been linked with a move to Tynecastle this winter, so here’s a run down of the names and whether a move could still be likely.

The young Wolfsburg striker was reportedly wanted by Stendel prior to Avdijaj’s arrival but the Bundesliga outfit were reluctant to let the teenager leave the club on loan. Having previously tried to sign Hermann for Barnsley, he’s clearly a player Stendel rates.

However, a lack of fit strikers meant a loan deal wouldn’t be sanctioned by the German club, and players returning from injury or new forwards being signed would have to happen in the next few days for that stance to alter.

A player Stendel knows well having signed him for Barnsley. The forward, who can operate out wide or through the middle, hasn’t featured for the Tykes since September and is in need of more regular game time.

A reported enquiry earlier in the window for the Senegalese and Jordan Green resulted in the former signing for Notts County on loan, with no movement on Thiam. As the deadline draws closer however, Hearts could go back in in an attempt to bolster their attacking options.

The former Partick Thistle man was linked at the start of the window and would have been a good addition on paper.

However, has established himself under Michael O'Neill at Stoke City and is unlikely to be moving on. Wages would have likely been a stumbling block for Hearts as well.

The Scotland international isn’t going to play at Celtic ahead of Fraser Forster and will likely fall further down the pecking order when Scott Bain is back.

A return to his formative club has been mooted before, although any move would be far more likely in the summer, and even then would have been more likely with Levein still in charge.

Hearts are still trying to move on Colin Doyle, Bobby Zlamal has another 18 months on his contract and Joel Pereira is on loan from Manchester United until the summer.

Another Stendel signing at Barnsley, the Austrian only penned a year-long deal at Oakwell last summer and would be available for nothing in the summer.

However, with Pereira the established number one between the sticks not as much of a priority for Hearts at the moment, it’s not one they’re likely to have any interest in just now and may aim higher in the summer.

The young Raith striker is impressing for the League One leaders and netted twice again at the weekend in their 4-3 win over Montrose.

Craig Levein is an admirer and a deal was close to being agreed with Rovers while he was still in charge. However, his sacking understandably scuppered that for the time being and the 17-year-old is likely to have plenty of suitors sniffing around this week.

Of course, others have been linked that have since fallen by the wayside.

Would have been a popular signing with the fans after netting 20 goals in just over a season in maroon during his previous spell.

The player himself admitted he was keen on a potential return, the but the club less-so after the manner of his departure to Rangers and having other targets as a priority. Has since signed for Sunderland.

Was linked with a potential loan move but given Hearts’ options a centre back, was never that likely. John Souttar’s return to fitness alongside Craig Halkett means he would’ve been back up at best. Hendry took the opportunity to head Down Under and signed a loan deal until the end of the season with Melbourne City.
